Suction caissons for wind turbines

open access: yes, 2005
Suction caissons may be used in the future as the foundations for offshore wind turbines. We review recent research on the development of design methods for suction caissons for these applications. We give some attention to installation, but concentrate on design for in-service performance.

Model Tests on Characteristic of Suction Caissons in Saturated Fine Sand Under Intermittent Loading

open access: yesPolish Maritime Research, 2018
Suction caissons are often used for the caissons of both offshore oil platforms and offshore wind power projects because of their advantages of simple construction, economical cost, and reusability.

Vertical dynamic impedance of suction caissons

open access: yesSoils and Foundations, 2019
Abstract Nowadays, suction caissons are being increasingly deployed as foundations to support offshore wind turbines (OWTs). Due to the overturning moment induced by waves and wind, vertical forces are the dominating ones acting on these foundations.

Soil–Anchor Interaction Effects on Dominant Frequencies in Offshore Wind Turbines Supported by Tension Leg Platforms

open access: yesWind Energy
This study presents an experimental investigation into the influence of anchor–soil interaction on the dynamic behaviour of tension leg platform (TLP)–type floating wind turbines. A 1/100 scale model of the NREL 5‐MW reference wind turbine was fabricated

Model Tests on Influence Factors on the Pullout Behavior of Suction Caisson in Stratified Soils

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering
As offshore wind power constructions expand into deep waters, suction caissons have gradually become the preferred foundation. The controlled load of the suction caisson for the deep-water wind turbine is the pullout load.

Suction caissons subjected to monotonic combined loading [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Suction caissons are being increasingly used as offshore foundation solutions in shallow and intermediate water depths. The convenient installation method through the application of suction has rendered this type of foundation as an attractive alternative to the more traditional monopile foundation for offshore wind turbines.

Deep learning-based design model for suction caissons on clay [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Predicting the non-linear loading response is the key to the design of suction caissons. This paper presents a systematic study to explore the applicability of deep learning techniques in foundation design.

Consolidation Settlement of Suction Caissons

open access: yes, 2012
Consolidation settlement analysis is an essential part of the design process for suction caissons. However it is a complex task since soil volume important for settlement analyses is directly affected by the installation process. Consolidation settlements have been found to be the critical design criterion in several subsea developments, adequate and ...

Stress-seepage coupled analysis of critical suction for installation of suction caissons in sand

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2021
The critical suction is the key control factor for the installation of suction caissons in sand. The existing methods mainly rely on seepage analysis to determine the critical suction, which does not consider soil deformation and consequently might not ...

A SIMPLIFIED ASSESSMENT OF THE LOAD BEARING CAPACITY OF SUCTION CAISSON FOR OFFSHORE WIND TURBINES BASED ON FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS

open access: yesTra Vinh University Journal of Science, 2022
Suction caisson is widely used for offshore wind turbine applications. Its loadbearing capacity depends on the bucket geometry and its embedded soil properties.
